excel format
 

Is there a way that when a user types text in a cell (col A) that if they
type it in small letters it will automatically format to all caps?

No format available.

You would have to use event code in VBA.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Column <1 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Formula = UCase(Target.Formula)
ErrHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

As written, operates on Column A as you enter text in any cell in Column A

Change the 1 to whatever you wish.

This is event code and must go into the sheet module.

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code". Copy and paste the above into
that module.

you can convert existing data to uppercase using =upper()

to do it on the fly you'd need to apply a macro as above
